Like others have mentioned, and this is my opinion only, black if it is your only sub. Having said that, the green is more stunning and if you think you can be ok with wearing a green watch every day then definitely go for the green.

Black if you are a conformist. Hulk if you want to stand out in a crowd.

I am biased to black as, when faced with your choice, that's the way I went. That said I think both the SS green and TT blue are really great looking watches on others but just could not see myself in anything but an SS black...

New, go with green.

If used, I would consider black as it is relatively easy to get a good black sub

The green dial goes dark almost black indoors so you get two watches for one, much like the blue sunburst which goes a flat blue indoors.

I had the same dilemma. In the end I decided Batman was the answer.

The green definitely gets noticed more often. My watches usually fly under the radar (maybe the BLNR not so much) but over the last couple of weeks I've gotten several compliments on my Hulk.

If it's your first nice watch go with black. If you already have a collection go with green.

Been down this road a few times, always pick green, and then one I have it, I loose the love quick and sell it. That said, I may buy it again and see if it sticks this time!!! So you did good with green.:. I think.... Lol

I would recommend the Green 116610LV. Despite everyone saying it wont match formal wear I find that totally untrue. In most lighting perspective, the green of the LV looks like black anyway. From the rarity and exclusivity point of view , I would go for the Hulk all day any day. I own both the 116610LV and 116610LN and I choose to wear the 116610LV most of the time.

I already got a 14060 so I'd go for the hulk but I'm strongly considering the Kermit as well. Have you considered the Kermit , you get the ball and green in one ?
